Improve local DNS server on darwin

We mistakenly believed that `libresolv`'s `search` function worked correctly in NetworkExtension, but it seems only `getaddrinfo` does.

This commit changes the behavior of the `local` DNS server in NetworkExtension to prefer DHCP, falling back to `getaddrinfo` if DHCP servers are unavailable.

It's worth noting that `prefer_go` does not disable DHCP since it respects Dial Fields, but `getaddrinfo` does the opposite. The new behavior only applies to NetworkExtension, not to all scenarios (primarily command-line binaries) as it did previously.

In addition, this commit also improves the DHCP DNS server to use the same robust query logic as `local`.
